Wow the atmosphere in this game is phenomenal. Stunning art, animations and audio. I completed the game but I was just kinda exploring around not really feeling any pull towards a goal, maybe more hinting like trails on the ground or any clues like that would help me feel like I am searching for something specific. Overall Stunning entry and very immersive! Amazing job!
Absolute amazing game! The dialogues, gameplay, levels, scripting of the levels, new mechanics, art and music are top notch. Just a fantastic game in such a short time :) Amazing job!
Super polished game! The graphics and the feel of the game are amazing. The mechanic was very interesting and I loved exploring it in each level. The mix in the levels between solving the puzzle and the action in them was very well done. Also great job in including a boss :)
Fun puzzle game! Managed to complete it and it was a lot of fun figuring it out. I did feel like sometimes the less obvious path was always the one that led me to victory. So I breezed through some levels doing that. Overall really solid entry, Great job!
Wow!! This is such a brilliant mechanic. Absolutely loved it! The game was very difficult for me(especially the last level..) but the mechanic kept me going until I completed it. I loved how you need to think of your approach every time. The game leaves very little room for error which gets annoying when you spend a lot of time reaching to some spot in the game and then get stuck by your body because of some small part. Overall I enjoyed it and enjoyed exploring this unique mechanic. Well done!
Fun game! The controls did sometimes get in the way, like pressing two directions would just stop the player instead of moving him to the last direction I pressed or moving diagonally. Also the game gets a bit repetitive after a while, adding more variety, maybe upgrades, would've been amazing. The music was great! Overall good entry!
The art and music are very well done. Like others have commented the jump feels unresponsive, the movement is kinda hard to get used to and there is a bug with the mini-game. But the idea is pretty cool with the level closing in, and trying to find different routes when you reach back down, would be cool to have more levels exploring that. Good job!
I did a full play-through of the game pretty much at the last hour and didn't have much time to tweak the difficulty, so the levels sometimes get very difficult and then a bit easier. Also I played with the mechanic so much it was hard for me to tell what was too difficult for the player :) Thank you for the kind words and the feedback!
@heidelbert @star-garden @c1fr1 @suchista @cbenoit @dcrdro @gamescalation @timbals @donitz @ristoretto @illugion @anthony-dunlap Thank you all for playing and the valuable feedback! I'll make sure to tweak and rework the difficulty of the levels and ease players into the hard levels a bit further on, maybe in the post-compo version.
@player-2 Thank you for the bug reporting and glad you enjoyed the game!
@seconddimension Yes I think the introduction of the mechanic happens too fast and doesn't give enough time to figure it out before diving into the hard levels, will work on it in later versions! @Supernapie Hmm interesting, I'll try to add some bounce or something to see how that works. @killing-kitty Thank you very much! I think even if I had 48 hrs just to create music, I wouldn't come up with something good haha @mikethewayne Wow thank you very much for the kind words and feedback! I really like the idea of the music stopping when you enter space, I'll most likely implement it in later versions. Thank you all for playing and the feedback!
Solid fun game and beautiful pixel art! I managed to complete it, the level design was very good and I loved exploring the new mechanics that were introduced with each level. Great Job!
Fun little game and beautiful visuals, really enjoyed it! I loved stacking and matching up the items closer to the customers so I could meet the demand faster. Also the customers "blah blah blah" cracked me up :)
Beautiful art, great mini-games/puzzles(Loved the chess one :D) and fun music. Really enjoyed it!
Really fun game when you get used to the controls! The controls were really hard to get used to, it's intuitively difficult that you need to release the mouse to jump and hold it when landing. It felt really good gaining momentum and grinding. More levels, different ways to gain points, and in general more variety would have been amazing but overall this is a really fun mechanic! Good job!
Beautiful art and fun gameplay. I really enjoyed the calm feeling before the leaks go wild :) Great game!
Wow!! This game is phenomenal, such a unique gorgeous style together with great story and funny dialogue. Truly amazing entry, well done!
That is a super interesting game, really liked figuring out where to place my next word. The mood is fantastic as well, it's dark, but very well made. Great entry!!
Loved the clean graphics, music and the feel of the game. I did feel like the game was a bit too easy for me and didn't feel much of a challenge in the levels. Still very well done entry!
I enjoyed the mechanic and the music, really loved that the music stops when the circle starts moving. But the game lacks variety in the levels and can get repetitive after a while, maybe adding more obstacles, moving platforms or a bit more challenge to the main mechanic would add a lot in my opinion. I liked the doodle jump mode much more than the levels. Still great job!
Very good puzzle game with a really interesting concept! The difficulty of the game is really harsh and unforgiving, it took me a while to get through the first level. The collisions need more work, I would get stuck on my clones a lot. I did enjoy sometimes breaking the game and getting out of bounds because of the collision glitches. Checkpoints would've helped a lot, getting back to the start of the level after putting time into timing lasers and placing clones really takes away from the experience imo. Also the ending was amazing! Overall really good entry that just needs a bit more polish around the edges.
Super fun game! Completed it, really loved the levels, and it feels very satisfying to complete them. The only criticism I have is the wall jump feels a bit unresponsive at times. Overall I really enjoyed :) Great job!
Cool game but gets super hard in like a second haha. Lacking a bit in variety, maybe adding things like garbage you need to avoid or things like that would add to the game. Overall fun entry I enjoyed it :)
I really enjoyed the overall mood and the dialogs of the game :) Fun and challenging with an interesting mechanic. Great job!
I really liked the art, music and the mechanic of the game. But it took me a while to get used to the movement, it felt unresponsive and difficult to control at times. Solid entry tho well done!
I love the art style and the overall mood of the game! The mechanic is simple but fun, gets very challenging once the levels progress which I enjoyed. Also amazing music!
As others have stated its quite difficulty but also fun. Beautiful art and very cool music. Good job!
The music, sound, visuals and the overall mood of the game are amazing! The gameplay gets repetitive after a while once you get the hang of it tho, missing a bit of variety in terms of the level design and maybe the people you push around. Overall very solid and polished entry, I enjoyed it a lot!
Exceptional game! I loved everything about it. The music, art, level design, game feel and the mechanics are just phenomenal. The game wasn't too difficult and had a fair difficulty curve which I really liked. One small critique was that to restart the game I had to press two buttons instead of just restarting immediately. Overall I really enjoyed this entry. Fantastic job!
Really interesting game, it's fun expanding the world and discovering new things in it. The only thing that stopped me from continuing was the game started lagging once I reached a large world. Also I wish I had more interaction with the world. Overall Great minimalistic art and relaxing game play, Cool entry!
Wow this is such a polished entry well done! (This is compo?!) Enjoyed everything about it, Also kudos for not restarting the whole boss dialog and just letting me fight him after my first encounter. Fantastic game!
This was really fun! Really juicy, the shooting mechanic was well polished and I really love when a game uses one mechanic to interact with the whole game. Solid entry!
I really like the dialogues and the art of the game! I did feel the game-play was not really challenging, and the obstacles were appearing at very random places where you couldn't really dodge them. The boss fight was the only moment I felt I had some interaction with the game. Overall I enjoyed it, it was short and sweet!
As mentioned I got stuck on the pipe when I only had the ability to go right. The beginning was so polished and cool! As for the game it was short and sweet, great entry!
2019-10-26 19_30_46-__ by lex-m.png :) Honestly had a lot of fun guessing the words and painting a picture that started as a black canvas. Really cool entry I enjoyed it a lot!
Cool game, I feel like a lot of juice was missing in terms of the platforming. But overall good entry.
Yay I beat the game! I spent wayyy too much time on it haha. Really nice idle game without the automatic farming option, I think it would be better to have something collect the wheat/rocks/wood automatically. Also it really misses some feedback effects when you pick up any of the stuff. Overall I had fun and really liked the art, Cool entry!
Beautiful art! The lock-picking mechanic was interesting. Overall good entry!
Cool idea, as others have said hitboxes were a bit too large. Really liked the animations and the art!
Fun game! Really enjoyed hitting enemies because of the particles but the shooting and the platforming does miss a lot of juice. Cool entry!
Cool concept, kind of funny to beg money from the seller and then buying the thing he sells. Is there an ending to the game? also what does the helmets give you? Feedback wise I agree with all the previous comments. Nice entry and great art.
Really fun mechanic! I enjoyed keeping my velocity up and smashing a bunch of those red cubes. Cool entry!
I had the same bug as Omiya Games, when I lost the glove ability and couldn't continue any more. Overall I really enjoyed it very solid entry
Really cool entry! Loved the art and the music. LD is about getting a game out there and you did it so congrats :)
Very gorgeous game! I finished it..but I don't really understand how haha I mean I got through all the timed spiked platforms, and ran out of light so I just rushed through what I guess was the last door and it showed me I have completed it. I felt like the controls weren't very tight and didn't feel I had full control of the character in the tricky platforming parts. Also maybe a bit more time before the light runs out would be great or at least don't reduce the visible light radius as much. Overall this is a really polished and gorgeous game I enjoyed it very much!
Yay I finished the game! Really polished fun game, The difficulty does ramp up quite a bit in the last two levels but overall this is a really solid platformer, Fantastic job!
Amazing game! I could see my self playing this on my phone for hours. I really loved thinking about every step, the game felt very strategic and fun! Would love more mechanics of course and more visual feedback when I do any action. Very well done game Cute art and great music!
@munkkeli - Thank you :) Difficulty wise I think the difficulty curve should've been more forgiving at the beginning, Unfortunately I couldn't play test the game fully to do that correctly. @justalocalhero - Thank you! :smile: @incd021 - Wow I wasn't familiar with Thrust It looks super cool, Thank you for sharing! I was really bummed I couldn't add music/sfx, I wasted too much time on stuff that didn't work and couldn't let go :( @rednaxelus - Hmm Really good Idea! At first I wanted the planes to drop anywhere on the screen but it just felt too easy. Thank you! @diego-escalante - Thank you! I wanted to add more levels in between to take advantage of that mechanic and get you familiar with it, But unfortunately I ran out of time :( @quinn-patrick - Thank you very much! Yes I should've went with just the keyboard. I was also really bummed I couldn't add Music/Sfx :(
@deathray Hmm The idea was that you get more planes and that would be your 'HP', The one thing I regret not implementing is that crashing would be a result of a big velocity, and not just on any hit. Thanks!
@hiisileiri Thank you! Definitely regretted not getting any sfx, and yes the first instruction texts should've been relative to the screen.
@james-beninger Thank you! I wanted the feeding to be skill-based as controlling the plane, the food gets the planes velocity so you would need to slow down and then start feeding, but maybe it would be better to throw the food a bit faster. Regarding crashing into Mogmog I didn't want that because then players would just go full steam ahead and crash into him instead of trying to control themselves/slowing down and positioning themselves to throw the fruit.
@blobo Thanks :)
@jason-woerner Thank you!
@meelo - Thank you :) Great comments! I agree with everything you wrote, I rushed play-testing the game, and only properly tested like 4,5 levels. After playing the game fully I also got very frustrated from not having a quick restart button (which would take literally two lines of code arghh) the unexpected boosts in near gaps was annoying as well. The fruit attraction is sometimes bugged mainly because it changed a lot during development and the final version of it was implemented 4hr before the deadline. Also thank you for trying to beat it even though the game is unfairly unforgiving.
Phenomenally polished for such a small game, every movement felt very satisfying and meaningful. I also appreciated how you could chain moves, as in you could input the next direction and it would go there immediately, which also felt very good. The mechanic isn't new but your take on it is surprisingly very addicting and engaging. I could honestly see myself just zoning out and playing this on my phone. Phenomenal work!! (As always :smiley: )
Great game! Really liked the introduction to the game and the mechanics. Graphics are cute and beautiful! Music was awesome too. My only criticism is I wish it was longer, so you could explore this mechanic further, the game felt very short after a lengthy tutorial. I was also hoping for a cool satisfying ending of sorts. (I bet you had one planned out but it's LD after all :smile:)
Super polished! Very interesting and engaging, honestly everything was highly polished and gorgeous. I was sure this was a Jam game at first! Phenomenal work, really amazing entry!
Cool game! It was really difficult to understand the mechanic at first, took me a few tries. I wish there was some difficulty curve to get you familiar with the mechanic. I also feel like the cat shouldn't jump on you anymore when you don't have fish and you are trying to get more from the pond. For me, understanding the game was hard because of the lack of feedback. I wish the cat would actually take a bite of the piece, A hunger meter would be nice in addition to the texts, more feedback when the cat bites etc.. Last thing, I think it would be better to hide the mouse cursor as it's very distracting in-game. Graphics and Music were amazing!
Truly Phenomenal work, beat all the levels! So many mechanics, polished, innovative, fun, juicy, beautiful and fantastic music. Honestly Great job! The only critique I have is I wish the nest would be a bit bigger, as I had moments where it would hit the ground near it when it looked like it's going in the nest.
Nice game, Liked the intro and game mechanic. When you start falling very fast it's difficult to control your movement + react, I think it would be better if the camera would start to focus more on what's below and not on where you are aiming.
Cool game! Wow the third level was really tough, especially after the first two relatively simple ones. Things I didn't like: The Sfx for the fire were very repetitive and loud, it was hard to know where will the baby go after it collided with you. I had no problem with the time it took to prepare the bottle but cleaning the mess and fixing the outlets took a lot longer than expected. The game lacks polish, but it's your first compo so you'll definitely learn from this! Congrats on getting a game done, especially a super interesting one! Btw the ending was nice :smile:
The game was really cute and fun but the controls start to work against you as you progress through the level. The Gravity is way too low, the square feels heavy to move and super difficult to make him stop. It always felt like I'm fighting against the controls and not trying to solve the puzzles. When finally getting through level 3 the square took a lot to stop and I slid into the black particles which lost me the level. I did get to level 7/8, honestly I really wanted to finish the game, but I just got very frustrated from the controls. The puzzles tho were very interesting and I liked figuring out how to get both myself and the circle to the 'exit'. Music was awesome! And the Overall mood of the game felt very cute and enjoyable even tho the art was simple. Cool entry!
Really cool game! I agree with the comments about getting overwhelmed and having difficulties to control all your units, I wonder if this would be better if it was turn-based. Also I always used the Rook in my attacks I didn't feel like I needed the other units, this could have been improved with some punishment for overusing a certain unit. Overall Great game! Music and Art were clean and beautiful.
Extremely interesting game, really enjoyed seeing all the paths of the story. Very engaging, love the visuals and the swipe animations. Amazing work!
As other have said it was really difficult to figure out what to do, even after reading the tutorial, I would rather have the tutorial broken into multiple levels teaching you parts of it. Still this is a really innovative concept, I really liked trapping them slowly and figuring out who is the invader. Really interesting design.
@judgezedd Thank you for the kind words :)
@afroant Thank you very much!
@zebrainflames Ye sorry about that :( The world generation was a last hour effort where a lot of mistakes were made. Will most definitely improve on it somewhere in the future haha I added the button P for these situation where you can regenerate the world as kind of a safefallback for a badly generated cave.
@quinn-patrick Thank you! Yes the world generation needs a lot of work on it. Also agreed on the lack of explanation, more notes for the future :)
@itskdog Thank you!
@pizzasgood Thanks! I just wish I did a better job at generating the caves :(
@ale HaxeFlixel <3 Thank you very much for the feedback! Oh man you are totally right, I didn't account for overlapping spikes so that was definitely the problem, I'll definitely put more attention into world generation in the future. Thanks!
@phillserrazina Thanks!
@loig Thank you :)
@clemonades I agree about to music I just wish I had the skill to create ambient music haha Thanks!
@meek-bits Thank you! The idea behind the light sticks was not to provide more light but to guide you on your next runs as they don't de-spawn once you are defeated. It would've made sense if the world generation was actually any good, I wanted players to throw light sticks to mark areas they already explored דo they go on a different path next. Thank you for playing and the feedback!
@capt-theo Never heard of it, which is a shame because it looks amazing. If I would imagine my game in a polished gorgeous state that would definitely be it.
@pandakipu Thank you!
@zathnic Thanks! Yes I agree, progression is definitely lacking. I checked out Gravity, really cool game, Thanks for mentioning it!
@matootsy Thanks! I agree the theme didn't really click with me (Typical LD theme haha) So I just tried to include it somehow. Thanks for the feedback!
The polish levels are always nuts. I was interested in how you could expand on the main mechanic, I really loved the portal thingy! My criticism is I was interested in the story and didn't get a closure to it! If I wasn't there for the gems then whaattt.
Incredible entry as always.
Great little game, the story and presentation are top notch. I didn't really feel challenge in the puzzles except the last one tho. I think you could have expanded it to have more interesting puzzle mechanics. Also the art and the music are simple but really well done, they sell the mood of the game very well. Cool entry!
Really fun game, I liked the difficulty it made defeating the boss way more fun, although once I understood I could leave the green area for a long period, it became pretty easy. Great music/sfx, Awesome polish, all around great experience for a small jam game.
Oh man that lived up to the title haha As others mentioned it was really difficult to steer the bus, and the acceleration feels like a bugatti haha. But this was really fun and the Text2Speech cracked me up. I didn't feel a lot of challenge tho, does the game get somehow difficult as the time progresses? If so I didn't notice it. Fun title great job :)
Nice game, obviously lacks a lot of polish, but has potential to be a small fun game. The pirates are way too accurate, you can't really dodge them, once you see them you accept you are going to get hit by them. The whirpools were very very strong, I don't think it should've reduced your hp once you are in it but also the pull is too strong to get out once you are too deep in it. The movement and the delivery part were fun so kudos on that. Nice Entry :)
Very fun game! The particles were great and the overall feedback was good. I just wish there would be more variety, and a way to regen HP. Good entry!
Incredible story/mood, Clever concept, awesome ending, this was such a fun jam game! The art definitely needs a lot of work, mostly on the palette and the assets themselves. It was really hard to know where the hoop was, in terms of direction, maybe it would be better to have the loop appear bigger as a UI element or something like that. I also really like the indication that the loop is about to fall off, and the helping arrows. Gameplay wise I didn't feel like I used the hoop mechanic too much, there were some levels where I just brute forced my way to the ending. Still The story, the delivery and the ending are phenomenal great job!
Very good game, I felt like getting the player to start moving was a bit hard, but overall very solid platforming. The hitboxes for the spikes felt gigantic, I was just scared to be in their proximity so the puzzles where you have to thread the needle were very frustrating. The animation, inspirational lines and sfx were really well done.
Nice creative puzzles, had a good laugh when I was the button. Hopefully I didn't miss anything in the win screen haha.
The platforming itself tho was really tricky, The spikes hitboxes were way too large, the speed of the player was way too fast, the gravity too low, it kinda took away from the game when I had to battle with the platforming instead of solving the actual puzzles.
Still a very creative entry, well done!
Fun little game. The music was awesome. The difficulty does get chaotic near the end. More feedback during shots and variety would make it much better, but still this is a good entry, well done!
Very interesting concept, I enjoyed thinking a few steps ahead to solve the puzzle. Also the ending was really well done. Great entry!
Cool game, really liked the art. There wasn't an ending or something right? The game would benefit from it so I can feel I got out of the debt loop..or maybe that was the idea? hmm :) Great job!
As other have said the perspective was difficult to grasp, It was hard to know when will the asteroid hit you or when you can grab the coins. Also A lot more feedback was needed here, feedback from getting hit by an asteroid and grabbing coins/ power-ups would make it much better. But oh man the music....AMAZING. Cool entry!
Incredibly creative idea, I agree with all the other comments, counting the characters was really annoying and took significantly more time than solving the actual puzzle. The game kinda just throws you straight to the water with no explanation, took me a while to figure out what to actually do. Overall this is the kinda of games I expect to see from zachtronics which I would buy and spend a lot of hours on, Great work!
This is a really interesting concept. Thinking where you are, when to shoot, and where to shoot makes this a really strategic shooter. Awesome entry well done! Btw Highscoree :P
Very cool looking the game. Although the mechanic is simple it's presented in a very creative and beautiful way, I really enjoyed stabilizing the boat. I would like if there were more additions to it in terms of mechanic as you progress further. Awesome entry!
Well I played the runner mini game for a bit, collected the fish pole and the hat but couldn't trigger the fishing minigame for some reason. So I thought it was just a cosmetic and left it there, then I read the first comment and was curious what was he talking about..and damn haha this was really interesting, felt like a frog fractions kind of twist, I really enjoyed it. Very good entry!
Very interesting entry, the only puzzle that took me a bit of time to solve is the one where you have the ceiling moving generator. Other than that I felt like the difficulty was fine and I really enjoyed the art and the gameplay elements. Felt very unique, solid entry!
@robert18 - Thank you! Ye sorry about that, I had like 30 min to actually test the whole game and started noticing it as-well, I added a super disgusting check after to remove civilians that were places out of bounds..but yeah LD code is LD code.
@kumber - Thanks! Had very little time to balance it, sorry for the super harsh difficult beginning!
@bluemaus - Thanks!! Ye the helmet only starts getting useful when you upgrade it to lvl2+
@aquachain - Thank you :)
@rubr - Thank you! I agree with you about the sfx I really wanted to add something to the game and just ran out of time completely. I've fixed the people generation bug (hopefully) :)
@mateu - Thanks! Oh jeez you are right about the upgrades, they don't visually upgrade the bar but they are indeed active, I've fixed both of those bugs, thanks!
@almightyzentaco - Thank you! I agree, wish I had time to add sounds :(
@ovilia - Thanks! I totally agree :)
@robbietaco - Thank you! Definitely I should've warned that it is running out, as it can run out quick without realizing it, thanks for the suggestion!
@daniel-spruill - Thanks! Ye I wanted to minimize the scrap farming by using the smoke as the mechanic that stops you from doing so, I think I should've eventually collapsed the floor as well so you can't just stay in one level and farm scrap.
@kevlanche - Thanks you! Glad you enjoyed it :)
@tamdevs - Thank you for the kind words and playing!
@wuppos - Thank you! Ye the scrap mechanic is really weird, I wanted to add some progression feeling to the game and came up with that, makes no sense but it somehow worked haha. If it turns out to be a full game I'll 100% invest in a lot of game feel. :)
@laurenceogden - Thank you very much :) Yeah the game needed a lot more explanation, will improve on it in a post-compo version of sorts.
@webox - Thank you :) I would've loved to add sfx & music but time wasn't my friend when developing this entry haha
@doomshmuck - Thank you! Absolutely not a weird criticism at all and a very good one. I originally wanted to lower it to 10 or 12 but it felt very short considering every level could be completed very fast. I agree tho the permadeath and the longer levels further on can create a very daunting feeling having to play it all over because of just one small mistake. I agree with you this game shouldn't have been this long for what it offers in it's current state. And yeah I should've done a better job explaining the source of the scrap.
@pbg - Thank you very much! I fully agree, the effect should've been stronger and more impactful, time was just limiting how much of a full playthrough I could do to polish up the effect of each upgrade and the overall balance of the game. Thanks for the nice comments :)
Really interesting mechanic! You've done a really good job exploring it. I wish there would just be more mechanics introduced later on to further explore the main mechanic. Overall I really enjoyed this puzzle platformer, great job!
Wow. Absolutely incredibly addicting and fun game. I enjoyed it and spend way too much time on haha Don't really have a critique everything was really well done and it never felt repetitive due to the randomness of the worms and the blocks. Extremely well done!
Cool game! The platforming and controls were solid although I did have moments where I was standing on one tile and couldn't jump. The mechanic was interesting but I felt it was way "too random". There were moments in the beginning of the level where the whole level would be lost just because it got hit by the lava so it was frustrating not even getting a chance to start progressing. I did overall enjoy the chaos and randomness of it, it felt good finally getting through a level. Solid entry!
This is an incredible entry! Very unique mechanic that you've added upon really interesting concepts as the levels progressed. If I had to critique it, the talking admin felt very unfitting in terms of the art style, The dialogues were fine but the way the box is presented feels a bit out of place. Honestly Incredible work. Art, music, game design just really well done! I extremely enjoyed this.
Holy shit! Extremely polished and fun game. It can get challenging without any way to regen HP (did I miss it?) I only got as far as defeating the first boss and got smoked the next stage. Still this is the closest game I've played that's ready to be a full game, it's very fun, the game loop is solid, the art is simple but looks super good, some missing things for me would be stronger sfx when defeating enemies, a way to regen HP (Maybe when you are stationary and at the lowest overdrive?) and more variety in the enemies you fight. Well done on this entry!
SO. MUCH. JUICE. Really well done with the polish in this game it feels so good playing it. The gameplay is very interesting, when creating a little bit of instability it's interesting managing the chaos and trying to get to a stable state, creates a new and fun experience every play session. The music is also so good. Overall just a really solid entry!
Very cool game! I really enjoyed playing with the world and finding/creating a good spot for a shelter, the ik on the limbs was super cool. Really good entry!
Interesting use of orbiting mechanics + tetris. It felt unique, it was kind of hard to understand where the piece will 'slide off' to when they make contact but I feel, with practice, it can get very manageable. I would love a bit more feedback in the game, some stronger visual feedback for clearing a block, landing, etc.. Overall fun game, well done!
Cute relaxing game, I've had a few crashes when selling stores which was frustrating as I had to refresh the page and start from scratch. The game was really fun tho, a really solid base for a good sim game!
Cool, fun game! The mini games weren't too challenging but interesting! The art and music were top notch, great entry!
Gorgeous art and design. The normal mode felt too easy, but hard mode was just incredibly difficult, even when I managed to finally buy a worker, the workers couldn't keep up in the paper work and I lost the game. Other than that the game was really unique and interesting, great job!
Super interesting game. The combination of dodging the bullets and keeping the plane stable is interesting. I wish the game would reward you for progression, at least something minor like how many 'stages' you cleared. Also ramping up the difficulty gradually would be really good and help playability. The art is very nice I really liked it. Solid entry!
Holy. Fucking. Shit. Dude this was absolutely incredible, 72hrs?? wtf. Honestly I absolutely love atmospheric games(Limbo, Inside) and this was just perfection in that, the sfx, the movement, the visuals, the little cutscenes and animations you blew me away dude.
Some criticism: 1. The mosquito sound when he's close to you really took me off the experience, felt very unfitting to everything you made. 2. The movement was interesting but I would prefer if there was a mix of platforming between water levels and normal ones, as the movement feels very stuck, in a sense, when you are out of the water, and that's fine except I didn't expect the whole game to be outside of the water. 3. Another thing about the movement, maybe when you are out of the water you can only jump right/left and the default would be right so you could kind of bunny hop your way through the level and get some feedback when you are timing it right.
Other than that this entry is just phenomenal! I would buy it instantly if you had it fully fleshed out and bigger, superb job!
Really creative and funny concept! I enjoyed stacking objects up and attaching them to each other. It created a very interesting challenge the more objects you got. Great entry!
Awesome game! The physics gameplay is very interesting, figuring out how to handle the core in the levels was done very well, really nice level design! Solid entry! (And thank you for that last checkpoint haha)
Like others have commented it's very difficulty understanding how to use the main mechanics of the game which obviously takes you away from the experience. LD does allow you to fix critical bugs like these post jam so I think it'll help new people playing the game enjoy it better. The art, music and the story in the game are lovely so well done on them!
This was really fun! I really enjoyed the progression and visual feedback in the game. I do think it gets a bit too chaotic at some point and maybe a power like wiping the screen would be cool to just clear out the current enemies and ball to cool off from the action. Solid entry!
Interesting game, I liked the mechanic, figuring out the game was a really interesting experience which I enjoyed. I think the game just lacks a lot of feedback in terms of knowing when the block that you touch break, landing on a spike(blocks that you can't touch) should give some stronger indication of failure. Also the art, although I liked the minimalistic style, really makes it hard to tell what blocks can you touch and what can't, which is frustrating as it just one shots you and you go back to the beginning. Overall I enjoyed this entry, great job!
Wow that is very interesting, the physics and the way the player detects where to climb and how is very cool to look at. Also the ending made me sad :( The only thing that I would like is just a small indicator that points to the sky and indicates where is the goal. Really good entry!
Oh wow this is a really difficult game. I think the difficulty just ramps up from 0-100 in the first level with the small tiles and the water spills + There are no checkpoints through the level so I felt very frustrated falling in the last section of the level.
I did extremely like everything about it except that. The music is excellent, the art is beautiful and the gameplay is interesting. I just would love if the difficulty would've been introduced gradually.
Very cool puzzle-platformer! The effects were really well done and the game was fun. I just wish we got to see more levels that could explore this concept further. Really great entry :)
Interesting mechanic and game. I would love to see it explored with more levels. Beautiful music and art!
Cool game! Definitely fits the theme haha. I think the controls could be a bit more predictable I had moments where I would just press left & jump and pass huge chunks of the level. Cool entry!
Fun game! I enjoyed the procedurally generated levels and the mechanics in the game. One thing I would add would be some sort of indicator where the exit is, just a general direction as the world is extremely open and it's hard to figure out where you were and where to go next. Solid entry!
Wow such a well polished and interesting puzzle platformer game, I got 37,330 in casual mode. I liked it all, the level design was really great juggling between puzzle oriented to more platforming to just plain fun seeing the blocks break, just a really well thought design I really enjoyed it! The audio and graphics were amazing and it just felt really fun to play. Overall an amazing entry, Well done!
Such a lovely entry, the music and art are wonderful. As people above said it's really challenging, very difficult to get into it at the start, and the orders come and go way too fast. Even though after a few minutes of memorizing the menu you get really good at preparing the orders. Overall feels extremely polished and really great to play, amazing job!
@red-stake - Thank you! Yes I agree I dropped the player right into the upgrade screen with no explanation, I should've gave the player some time to familiarize with the game. I agree about the variety as-well, but you know how it is, jam time is never enough. Thanks for the kind words :)
@nullval - Thank you! Ye those waves get a really steep difficulty spike :(
@roitchie - Thanks! Oh I was battling myself so much with how to fit the theme, I had some ideas where maybe the tank would only last 10 seconds, or the waves so it would become a survival kind of game, but I just didn't like those designs, I wanted something like Papers, Please money management + strategy so you are always under pressure with low amounts but can make a choice knowing the waves beforehand. I wanted to get audio in but ye the game kind of glued on like the last hour haha
@rendahgames - Wow Thanks! Yes that's a very annoying issue I've noticed after playtesting it after the jam, I think tweaking their speed a little bit would've slightly improve it.
Such an incredible game, Art, Sound, Gameplay are just polished to the max.
Took me a couple of moments to understand fully the mechanic, figuring out when do the skulls apply, that you can collect multiple ones at the same time before applying, that once the timer runs out the skulls you pick are gone but the ones on the floor stay. That would be my only criticism of this brilliant entry, maybe easing the player a bit more before you get to the big battles with multiple enemy types.
Overall superb work from you, as always!
Great game! I really liked the effects, the lava spreading, the jetpack, the game overall felt really polished and fun to play. Overall I really liked it, great job!
Really solid entry fantastic art and music, really enjoyed the mini-games aswell! I found the Design and code ones a bit too hard, I did get progressively better at the code one but the design one was still really tricky for me. Overall amazing entry, well done!
Fun game! I really liked how the game transforms with the more coffee you get, once the mirror dude shows up it kind of becomes 'think of every step' dungeon crawler movement, also the effects are really cool the game just feels good to play. Solid entry well done!
Wow phenomenal job, even more incredible this was made in 72hrs! I love Papers, Please and this was as well made! Fantastic Art, music, gameplay, dialogues, va and the mood was just incredible. My only criticism would be the that I felt the use of the theme was just getting in the way, the time was too short (understandably) and it just started to get in the way of enjoying the game. Overall I would love for this to be a full release with more interesting story elements that tie together like in Papers. Fantastic entry!
Really cool game, the combat was interesting really made you think of your next move given how much energy you have. I think the controls are a bit confusing at first, maybe jumping could be mapped just to the up key, the deflection and dodging mapped to the same key was a bit hard to get used to but it made sense as deflection stops your movement so it makes sense to stop and then deflect. Overall I really liked it, the effects, the gameplay, very well polished entry!
Really fun game, I love Core keepers game design so this was perfect to hook me in. My only criticism is the difficulty at the start, maybe ease it up a little bit so players can understand the flow of the game and get into it more easily. Overall a really solid entry, Great job!
Really fun little roguelite, I enjoyed finding and applying the correct movement between checkpoints, really cool design. My criticism would be that sometimes I know I'm not going to make it to the checkpoint after turning the wrong way or not jumping in time so it was a bit frustrating waiting for the 10 seconds to be over so you could restart, if the restart would work all the time I think it would make my experience more enjoyable and the game flow a bit better. Overall a really great entry!
@joaosilva22, @potatocouch, @local-minimum - Thank you for raising these issues, last minute adding and tweaking probably wasn't the best decision :sweat_smile: fixed all of those in the new version! As for the view area the camera can be moved with W, A, S, D - Probably a better solution would've been to move it when touching the borders but I just didn't have the time to implement it haha.
@nczmoo - Thanks glad you liked it!
@astonedf - Thank you! Ye I was debating about the UI, I thought maybe to pop it up only when pausing But I liked the real time upgrading aspect so I kept it, maybe I should've spaced it better or something.
@bernhard - Thanks! Sorry about the difficulty, I also think it is too punishing especially after spending all the time on the other days, I'll take it to considerations in future updates if there will be any.
@christian-zommerfelds - Thanks! I wish there were more upgrades as well haha the game was like transformed 4 times before the end, I'll definitely keep in mind the difficulty for next updates!
@steve-sparkes - Thank you! Hmm ye I like that idea, making decisions more impactful and giving the player more time to think of his next move, I honestly wanted to make sort of an RTS game at start, even had all the code written for selecting units, commands, etc.. but just didn't find the time to tweak the AI to be more balanced.
@max-amaden - Thank you! The pixel art was really tricky for me this time honestly, had a really tough time picking up a good color palette and getting the shapes right, it kind of motivated me to practice pixel art more.
@ruthiepee - Thank you! Ye I had some tough time writing the upgrades so they would be a bit more clear as to what they do, I've wanted to add more texts once you upgraded to indicate it but time was slipping through my fingers :cry:
@floralvikings - Thanks! I agree the balance for the last level was really tough, I wish I had more time to balance the game properly.
Really fun game! You designed a simple and really rewarding game, the difficulty was amped up really well, you always felt progression during the game, overall just a very solid fun game. Great entry!
Cool game! I liked the overall atmosphere of the game, as others have said the nebulas were tricky to navigate but it did feel interesting to figure out how to get to the destination. Nice entry!
Cool game, I liked the puzzles and it was interesting to see how you built up a seemingly simple mechanic. Level 9 was a bit tricky because of the second cookie that kind of gets you off-track, I expected the second cookie to reset my boost so I thought it was a bug haha but then I realized it was kind of a decoy. Enjoyed this one, great entry!
Great game! I really liked the physics + lunar lander controls, very rewarding to master and deliver the packages. Felt like a really solid combo. Great entry!
Amazing puzzle game! Art is beautiful the music is relaxing and the gameplay is solid. Really good entry well done!
Extremely polished and gorgeous art! Really enjoyed playing it, I agree with an above comment that it takes the game some time to pick up, wish it would be a bit faster at the start. Overall just a really solid entry, congrats!
This was a really satisfying game to play! Stacking the boxes just perfectly and seeing that go button was really fun, I enjoyed the physics aspect to it and the snapping helped a lot when trying to place the final boxes. It did feel a bit too difficult for me, as in the timer was way too quick, overall I would've played it a bit longer if the timer wasn't so punishing because it did feel kind of relaxing just stacking the truck perfectly. Cool entry!
Wow this is a really polished game! I liked the art, the mechanics and the atmosphere, everything just fits in this game, solid design. Well done on this entry, super impressive for a compo!
Really nice job on this! I really liked how polished everything feels, the art is minimalistic and really well done. The game is satisfying to play. Great entry!
Wow this is a tricky game haha I think you should've ramped up the difficulty a bit gentler or maybe added a one time use pause button? that would make things more manageable for me. Overall cool concept, great entry!
Very fun puzzles to solve! It wasn't difficult nor easy, just a really good level design and difficult build up through the levels. You kept the signs every level to a minimum amount which is what I like about good puzzle games, keeping the options to a minimum and focusing on what you can do with that small set of options. Great entry!
A really cool game! The controls were a bit hard to get to used to but once you gain momentum and understand them it's really fun keeping the bike going and navigating it. Cool entry!
Really cool game! I liked the high pace of it, the recoil mechanics were a bit hard to master but very rewarding once you understand them, glitching through the floor kinda even felt like a feature haha like you had to figure out how to not fall too fast to not go through the floor. Great entry!
Oh wow this was dark souls level of difficult lol, I just wanted to get one pizza delivered :( Really cool concept but I agree with the above feedback the gravity is way too harsh, and it's really hard to understand what forces are affecting you, an indicator for your current velocity vector and what forces are pulling on you would make it so much better imo. Cool entry!
Really cool game! It takes some time to process the information at the start of the level but then it gets quite easy to complete the requirements but it's still rewarding to complete them. Some more polish would've been really great but overall the art and the atmosphere is really cool. Great entry!
Short and wholesome, the art is great, nice storytelling, it felt like a start to a great adventure. Overall nice entry!
Nice game! I feel like the difficulty jump from level 2 to 3 was a bit too hard. Overall I liked the atmosphere, art and the mechanics, nice entry!
You caught me off guard in the menu when his head fell off and the sfx played, gave me a good laugh lol Fun little game, In the dodging insults mini game I've wanted to dodge some words by going between characters which didn't work, I think it would've been a nice addition. Good entry!
Fun little game, I think it would help to have some indication as to where the letter is when it's off screen, because most of the time you dodge birds at the same height. Also didn't realize pooping on birds gets you points, A bit more juice here would be amazing and really fun. Good entry!
@schsam Thanks! Yes the movement was reworked and rushed towards the end of the jam, so that was the result of it haha. @namnam Thank you! Yes I've noticed this bug post release, I've pushed a new version now that fixes it. Also yes I should've added a restart button, maybe next version :)
@damdoshi Damn that sucks :( Do you have any additional info to share? Is it a 144hz monitor or higher, what browser? So weird that it happens.
@zyrconium @henk Yes sorry about the difficulty haha As I designed the levels some levels were too easy for me after hours of playing with the mechanic so I thought I should make them way more difficult, lesson on my part to go easier on jam games. Thank you for the feedback!
@atmospherium @thomas-gelman @thesmellofoxygen @dustin-zhang @f1krazy @timhugh Thank you all for the valuable feedback! Yes I agree with all of you about the difficulty, I should've focused more on the level design and introduced the mechanics a bit slower and easier but I was worried that if I make it too easy it would not be interesting, it's always my struggle with making these puzzle platformers, how to balance the level design to make it not feel too easy and not too hard. I wish I could've added music but I just ran out of time later on :( I appreciate all the constructive feedback, thank you very much!
Such a great entry! It took me a while but I did it! I wanted to comment that the game feels too hard, there were times where going left-down-right results in it just registering left then right and you losing all your ducks which I found quite punishing. But once you explore the map and figure out where all the buttons are, the map layout, it becomes a bit easier and honestly very rewarding to complete the game! Untitled1.png Congrats on a great entry!
Such a cute idle game, the sfx and the sound design is just awesome. I also liked the art even though it simple it has its own uniqueness to it in its simplicity. I enjoyed playing but I would love for there to be more upgrades, and more things to click while I wait for the city to grow. Great entry!
Wow that's a really innovative concept. I really enjoyed thinking about how to build my blocks and my route once it's finished. It took me some time to figure out the game and how to play it but once I did, it was a really interesting experience. I think a small tutorial would've helped this so much. But overall really cool entry.
Very interesting concept, kind of reminds me of badland just with more control. The puzzles were unique but I wish the levels would get a bit more trickier later on as the comments mentioned the freeze units mechanic is very strong. Overall great job!
Fun little puzzle game, not too difficult and you introduced the mechanics very well. Great entry!
Really great entry! Kind of like a minimalistic pikmin I really enjoyed the two levels, I kind of wished you would introduce more mechanics but still this was a great compo entry.
Really fun puzzle game, not too difficult and you ramped up difficulty in a very smooth way. Some more polish and juice would've been amazing, but overall great entry!
Really polished and solid entry. The art is cute and the music/sfx is awesome. I understood the usage of bombs but I couldn't figure out if I needed the other items at any point. I still had fun playing and it was an impressive amount of juice and polish for a jam entry, congrats!
Fun entry! I agree with the above comments about the pacing, it starts imo too slow and also I didn't find it very challenging as it progressed. I really liked the art style, minimalistic and fits the game so well. Well done!
Amazing game, really fun figuring out the puzzles even though some of them required a bit more time to figure out. Beautiful art, amazing music great puzzles. Really solid entry!
I just want to say this is a phenomenal entry, the world you crafted the music the mood are just top notch. I would love for this to get polished and better level design would make this game so good. Exploring the world, figuring out the mechanics kind of reminded me of Animal Well which I love. Most of the last level was me battling against the physics which I bet wasn't the intention haha but overall I really enjoyed the game and it piqued my interest to the end.
Really cool puzzle game. Fun to figure our the mechanics, I just wish there was more feedback and juice regarding where you clicked and the area of effect of your click. But overall I really enjoyed solving this, great entry!
Simple and fun arcade game, would love to see more variety and challenges thrown towards the monster, maybe some people trying to shoot it down or something like that. The art/music are amazing, great job!
Really cool entry! The visuals and the movement are top notch. Sometimes the left mouse button didn't register which created some frustrating moments but overall this is a really great entry, congrats!
